A nurse has been charged with homicide after providing a deadly dose of painkillers to a patient in her care. The nurse cared for the patient and provided drugs that were not part of the patient’s prescription medications for any time that she was a patient at the nursing home. The family filed a lawsuit on 5 counts holding the nursing home responsible for negligence in hiring and overseeing the nurse who killed their loved one.

A nursing home lawsuit has been filed due to a patient’s needs being ignored. The patient experienced rough treatment from nursing one employees, received scratches, and was unable to receive visits from her husband. Her call bell was also turned off.   The patient is seeking $50,000 in damages for the poor quality treatment.

Nursing home patients have been stranded at the hospital after being discharged for health issues. Upon recovery and request to readmit to the nursing home, some patients have been locked into a long-term hospital stay. One patient in particular has been stranded at a hospital for 9 months.  The patient’s daughter is sure the bottom line is money.

 A nursing home is being held responsible for the death of a patient after numerous care issues arose. The patient was admitted to the nursing home and while there suffered from dehydration, falls, bed sores, and malnourishment. After multiple falls, the bed sores developed leading to MRSA and a necessary hospitalization.

Six years after a nursing home death involving two roommates and patients at a nursing home facility, the objective to the hold the nursing home accountable has broadened beyond the one case. A nursing home patient was strangled with a plastic bag by her roommate suffering from dementia. The roommate was charged with murder, deemed unfit to stand trial and was placed in a mental hospital.  The nursing home was never held responsible.

A nursing home received such a poor inspection that it was told to close its doors. A former nurse opened up to news reporters about her experience there right before the inspection. Without a background check, she was brought in as a sitter and quit just a week after being there.
